Rare Fruit at Tenom Park p2 (Lipstick Tree, Herania & Beechwood) - Weird Fruit Explorer Ep. 156 

every time i hear your intro song i feel like im going on an awesome adventure wish i could teleport to the places you've visited.

Two words: “bug spray!” Two very important additional words: “With deet!”

I absolutely love your videos. One day I hope to travel the world and taste all these fruits for myself.

Thanks, man! As usual, I really enjoyed the video!

Love the intro music Also all your episodes I've seen so far...thank you for doing this

"I'm going to take a little bite"....*eats the whole thing* "tastes edible" 💀 Those mosquitos eating you up because you eat so much fruit man!

tastes edible...lol

your videos are awesome!

That lipstick fruit as a dried spice is used to color rice. Guamanians call it achotee, for their red rice recipes. Delicious and savory.

There are old fruit explorers and there are bold fruit explorers but there are no old bold fruit explorers. ;-) Should've applied the lipstick...

That herrania fruit isn’t herrania, but a cola species, specifically cola urceolata. It’s also a close relative of the cacao, but don’t know if you can make chocolate out of it. One of my favorite videos of yours!

I wish some day you be able to travel the way you do and try all these amazing fruits

Oboy! I can't believe he had that third 5:27 fruit not knowing if that's poisons or not! I have seen similar looking green poisonous fruits. Othalanga, Oleander and Jetropha fruits are some of them and I'm aware that those fruits aren't related to the fruit he's having but I think it's worth being very cautious about unknown or unidentified wild fruits when it comes to eating or taste-testing them. Anyways, thank you for going through all that to make these informative fruit videos!

Cool! I guess I never thought to see if there were different types of cacao!

I believe that supposed Herrania species was a Cola species, likely something similar to Cola gabonensis.

Those seem pretty rare. I couldn't find many pictures of Herania or Beechwood on the internet.

The synthetic coloring of cheese with annatto comes from the industrialization of cheese. Depending on the time of year the milk is collected, and what the cow is eating, the cheese can vary in color. At the time, farmers worried customers would complain about the inconsistency, so they dyed all milk the same color. The strong color became the mark of good cheese. Now days people might admire the more "handcrafted" variation and distinctive taste of a summer cheese versus a winter cheese; the terroir of the cheese. (sorry, I did a middle school project on Tillamook cheese)

**Eats deadly nightshade berries** "tastes edible"

8:10 Lipstick Tree is color red can paint ( but i remembered 2003) and too medicine and cook things meat. what your eat seeds is healthy good

The way you described the monkey cacao, it sounds like it tastes kinda like longan to me

WOW!

have u test the magic fruit at Lagud Sebrang,Tenom?

Wow

I adore your videos. But tell me, have you ever tried Hawthorne Berries? Hawthornes are mostly a decoration tree that has flowers similar to tiny roses and produce a fruit that looks like a tiny apple. And as the name suggests, has large nearly two and a half inch thorns. (they can be easily avoided, but I wouldn't suggest climbing up one of these trees) The hawthorne berries do taste different from tree to tree (kinda), and while there are these hard white seeds in the middle, there are some trees with berries that taste like a mix of apple and banana.

ur so brave to eat the second one in the Philippines we have that we dont eat it and the third we use it as a lipstick during our childhood luv ur channel💪❤

We have many interesting fruits here, in brazil...They are waiting for you my friend.

You poor thing with all those bites

The opening theme sounds like Kristina perris 1000 years

Ah-Chee-Oh-teh Bixa orellana (latin name) you had it close... but the E is hard. also called Annatto the leaves are edible and medicinal, not the best tasting, but, not terrible just not a lot of flavor The pulp is also said to repel insects and to protect against sunburn due to the UV-filtering properties of the carotenoid pigment known as Bixin. When ingested, achiote leaves provide even more benefits. Achiote leaves are one of the richest sources of tocotrienols currently known. Tocotrienols are important because they limit the liver's ability to produce LDL cholesterol. That's the kind of cholesterol that clogs arteries and causes heart attacks. The leaves' astringent or anti-inflammatory properties also make it a potent digestive aid. A tea steeped from the leaves of the achiote tree help to stop diarrhea and alleviate the symptoms of dysentery. Three daily cups of tea also improve general digestive problems or discomfort. The more scientists investigate achiote leaves, the more benefits they find. Recent studies reveal that all parts of the achiote plant have hypoglycemic properties. A daily ingested dose of a tea made out of the achiote leaves or roots reduce blood glucose levels and prevent spikes in blood glucose after a meal. In fact, medical studies of the powerful healing properties of achiote are just beginning. So far, the anecdotal evidence suggests that achiote may have certain properties that fight prostate cancer. For centuries, shamanic healers in South America have used a tea made from achiote leaves to make a strong tea consumed three times daily. Western medicine is just beginning to discover the power of achiote. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the different parts of the achiote tree can improve heart health, heal reproductive problems, eliminate systemic infections and more.

Lipstick fruit is used in anato oil.

achiote is used in seasoning of foods like the Goya line ...keep up the good work i love ur vids;)

I love your videos with all my heart! Hope this doesn’t come across as sounding critical, but this video would have been 10x better if you put on the lipstick, you know you wanted to! Secondly, vitamin b1 in high dose for mosquitos. Since I’m already on a roll, might I ask that you include your cat in more of your videos?

sago worm 😍

First youtuber I know went to sabah.

I have to be honest as a forager and say every time he tries something that he is not sure is edible, I squeme a bit. We are taught to research and identify if something is not poisonous before eating it. Even as I was learning as a kid, I carried a field guide everywhere and now I double check on the internet as well. This is especially the case with mushrooms as there are some out there like Jack-o-lanterns that look like chanterelles but can really ruin your day.

Tenom,Sabah..

Would be awesome if you could try the CHE Fruit and the American Persimmon sometime :)

"A slimy nut"

Why is there so much wierd fruit ? Also are you ever coming to Australia or have you been here already ?

Have you tried the Ice cream bean?

how do you know these 'foreign' fruits are ripe when you try them ?

I was really surprised by how dry and empty the inside of the lipstick fruit was. I've never seen anything like that.

Is that a hickey on your neck at 5:42 or a very bad bite? Just noticed it. Thought you were a ladies man but my goodness cx Anyways loved this episode, especially the part where you basically tried fruit without entirely knowing whether or not it’s poisonous lol.

Like after every minute or two of your recording outside I saw a new bite on your neck or face XD

0/10 you didn't use the lipstick lol

Ok, I've got a new fruit for you that's native to much of North America. Southern Bluehaw, and it's cousins.

get your hands on a fresh off the tree ripe Paw Paw

Bruh , are those hickies on your neck? "Tasting exotic fruit" , alright alright in my best Mathew McConaughey voice

Guess the beechwood fruit is gonna be on the bad fruits list.

I'm sure you get a lot of astringent tastes trying all this crap. That's the strange taste an unripe persimmon gives you, a different kind of pucker face from simply sour. I bet that thing tasted like that. You should use that adjective sometimes.

Love the videos, not the lip smacking.

Thank you so much from the Gen X's. I was told my family who think I am so weird watching your video's, that this is ridiculous. Which is not at all. Zombie apocalypse,

Mfw he said slimy nut

Ooooooh, no..... It tastes edible..... Many poisonous things taste edible. Not the best idea to stick a plant or fungi You can't identify in your face. Edit. Well at least not until you know what it is.

Its pronounced Ach-oh-te

are you vegan ?

Love your videos they are extremely informative, just not very exciting!.... a little bit emotionless even and you talk a lot before most tastings. If you made them shorter and seemed more intrigued by the wonderful and exotic fruits you have the privilege to experience i can guarantee you would have millions of views cause your actually a very likeable person, and easy to watch. But i would think the viewer watches these sort of things because the majority of them can't experience this themselves. I only comment out of respect as i have sat and watched about 70% of your videos and it has been running through my mind for a while i just had to! Sorry if i caused any offence mate i wont comment again 🤐

why u didn't put the lipstick fruit on?!!!😂 it looked so fleshy/juicy when u squashed it, i was waiting for u to put it on hehe
